I was at the meeting where this idea was brought up.
It was funny how everyone were so excited about this "great" idea as they were only focusing on the positives whilst completely ignoring the drawbacks.
Whenever someone proposes an idea to me, I dont think about the positives or the negatives, but only one thing- business
Why is there an automatic assumption that by having a African American as the top face it would bring in merchandise sales? You can make someone win every match and throw the belt on them but if the crowd dont care about him then it would make no difference.
We must first find an African American who has all the attributes of a mainevent wrestler and who is really over with the crowd. Only then, should we give this guy a push. Thats how business should happen
But If its just entertainment that everyone is after then I am pretty sure we could find an African American who could rock the crowd. Hell Im willing to ask my good friend Book to do a little dance for everyone each night and I am sure he would be more than happy to do this.
